Title: Orbital reciprocating saw
Inventor: BEDNAR THOMAS RICHARD
IPC: B27B19/04
Filed: 1999-07-19
Abstract: An orbital reciprocating saw comprising a housing, a motor, a spindle movably supported within said housing and having a front end adapted to support a saw blade, a reciprocating drive assembly, an orbital drive assembly connected to said spindle to selectively drive the saw blade in an orbital path, an orbital adjustment assembly connected to the orbital drive assembly to adjust the orbital path of the saw blade, and an adjustable shoe assembly. The orbital drive assembly includes an eccentric cam member removably supported on the motor drive shaft and engageable with the spindle to cause orbital movement of the saw blade upon rotation of the motor drive shaft. The orbital adjustment assembly selectively disengages the spindle from the cam member during at least a portion of the rotation of the cam member to change the orbital path of the saw blade. The adjustable shoe assembly includes a shoe, a shoe support member pivotally supporting the shoe, a locking member pivotally supported by the housing, and a lever connected to the locking member.
Patent CA-2278908-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JOHNSON ROBERT EVEREST
IPC: H03M1/06
Filed: 1999-07-27
Abstract: A glitch filter processes overlapping time sequences of an odd number, N, of potentially corrupted sampled data values to determine the central value for a sorted ordering of each set of N values present for each time interval, t i  This central value is taken as the output value for the current set of N input values (i. e. for time interval, t i). In the following time interval, t i + 1, the oldest of the previous N samples is discarded and a new sample is added to the set. This process repeats for each time interval. In an illustrative hardware embodiment, a circuit, such as a FPLA, uses the above-described technique to eliminate glitches occurring in signals otherwise being processed. In an illustrative software embodiment, a processor executes a software routine or computer program to similarly evaluate and eliminate glitches imposed on desired signals.

Patent CA-2284168-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ILIFF EDWIN C
IPC: G16H70/60
Filed: 1998-03-13
Abstract: One aspect of the invention is directed to a system and method for automated knowledge-based, long-term patient disease management. Disease management is directed to the continuing medical care of a patient who has been diagnosed with a specified health problem called a disease. The system performs disease management in a fully automated manner, using periodic interactive dialogs with the patient to obtain health state measurements from the patient, to evaluate and assess the progress of the patient's disease, to review and adjust therapy to optimal levels, and to give the patient medical advice for administering treatment and handling symptom flare-ups and acute episodes of the disease. One goal of the disease management system is to promote patient health in an automated manner that reduces costly medical intervention. Various features of the system are specifically designed to accumulate and use patient-specific information, so that disease management can be tailored to each individual case. As the system manages a given patient over time, it builds a profile in the form of the frequency and reasons for the patient's contacts with the system, the patient's subjective understanding of the disease, the patient's objective response to various medical treatments, and the patient's preferences in treatment. The system performs its contact with patients in the form of disease management sessions, which are regularly scheduled dialogs with the patient.

Title: Toric contact lens with axis offset compensation and method and apparatus for manufacturing same
Inventor: WINDEY JAN
IPC: B29D11/00
Filed: 1999-12-17
Abstract: A contact lens and a method and apparatus for manufacturing a contact lens having areas of different thickness, the contact lens being compensated for differential shrinkage during the manufacturing process. The angular offset of the cylinder axis due to differential shrinkage is compensated for by introducing an equal and opposite offset during the manufacturing process. The axis offset caused by a particular manufacturing process is experimentally determined, i.e., for each intended cylinder axis, the corresponding offset (in terms of degrees of rotation) is determined. The lens compensation is implemented by adjusting the manufacturing process so that upon curing the lens corresponds to the desired, prescribed lens, without any axis offset.

Patent CA-2294770-A1 (CA)
Title: Compounds and methods
Inventor: BONDINELL WILLIAM E
IPC: A61P37/04
Filed: 1998-07-01
Abstract: This invention relates to substituted benzanilides which are ligands, agonists or antagonists, of the CCR5 receptor. In addition, this invention relates to the treatment and prevention of disease states mediated by CCR5, including, but not limited to, asthma and atopic disorders (for example, atopic dermatitis and allergies), rheumatoid arthritis, sarcoidosis and other fibrotic diseases, atherosclerosis, psoriasis, autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, and inflammatory bowel disease, all in mammals, by the use of substituted benzanilides which are CCR5 receptor antagonists. Furthermore, since CD8+T cells have been implicated in COPD, CCR5 may play a role in their recruitment and therefore antagonists to CCR5 could provide potential therapeutic in the treatment of COPD. Also, since CCR5 is a co-receptor for the entry of HIV into cells, selective receptor ligands may be useful in the treatment of HIV infection.

Abstract: Solid-phase assays have provided a powerful approach to the analysis of biomolecules in medical diagnosis and in basic research. Solid-phase nucleic acid hybridization methods, for example, have been applied to analysis of genetic polymorphisms, diagnosis of genetic disease, cancer diagnosis, detection of viral and microbial pathogens, screening of clones, and ordering of genomic fragments. A new solid-phase sample-retaining tip provides improved procedures for synthesizing or detecting a biomolecule. These tips can be used to devise sample-retaining assemblies, which in turn, can be combined to form arrays of solid-phase sample-retaining assemblies useful in automated processes. The tips may be connectable to a spring biased support pin and also contain a chemical layer coating said tip to which a biomolecule is bindable.
